Wow! It's like visiting the old neighborhood, James T. Here's the message. It's not the Government"s purpose to "put food on my table", or your table and support your family. Thats you're job. It's Governments job to pave the way for businesses to prosper and create MORE jobs, not get in the way of that process.

I have the NC as my home page and have just not bothered to change it to another site. Glad I am a procrastinator!

What a telling statement. It is a reflection of the lack of personal responsibility that is infecting our society. The longer this trend continues, the less likely our country will be to pull out of it. We will shortly be at a tipping point where we will begin our decent into being Greece without any hope of turning.

BinM, The Greece comparison maybe a little over the top but our current debt level is approaching 100% of our GDP. If I recall the figures correctly, Greece is currently at 127% of GDP. So economically, we are not there but we are quickly heading in that direction. To compound matters, we have reached the tipping point where 50% do not pay federal income taxes. That group is becoming more and more like the working class in Greece that is demanding more and more from a government that has less and less of an ability to afford those demands.

Reminds me of the 2004 election when a woman stood up to ask John Kerry a question, stating, "This election is about ME, what are you going to do for ME?". What a shame.
Noone should have to be told, "No, it's about the Country, it's about securing the freedom, prosperity, and opportunity for both to future generations. not YOU."

Holy cow!!! The gang is still gathering at the watering hole??? I'm shocked! This is kind of cool! Is it time to fire up the Raw site? For old time sake... For kicks and giggles?
How does this thing work? I forgot!

Is Derek still, around crashing planes? I see BIM and Legion and Cookers and Maddie... "sniff!"
